Theyshootthem: My Queer Family

Theyshootthem is an Australian photographer, now based in Los Angeles who focuses on shooting the queer community, subcultures and their allies. In the shoot ‘My Queer Family’ they documented their many adventures with their tight-knit group of queer friends in Melbourne. Through their shared experiences as queer youth they became much more than friends, they were family, being each other’s support group and soulmates. Such a strong kinship was rare, as they navigated their way through self-discovery, heartbreak and sharing their identity. This is a snippet into their lives.
